vertical intergration nickle users

hi all its good to finnally see this beast move again. i was reading the recent report, and i was interested in the bit about knp.... The Company believes its new partners are likely to be
nickel users and or traders rather than traditional mining companies, similar to Shanshan who is
our partner on the Yerilla Nickel Cobalt Project.......
it seems that this vertical integration is becoming popular(with nickle ) omg has just taken on cawse, as well...just wondering what all this means for the nickle price and how its set, does it mean that the nickle is sent directly to the end user or does it still go to the lme in london been trying to look on the net there is a liitle bit there but cant find out what effect it has on the nickle price anyway i think its good anyway because its looking like mining companys dont want to spend the capital to get this dificult but much needed metal out of the ground and they are leaving it for the end users of nickle, anyway just thinking out aloud and getting excited about hrr going forward this year things are starting to move they could have 2 cash flow projects up and running soon and no debt how good is that.......
